Genesis Entertainment.

Today, after Hu Shuo sent Zuo Zuo, he arrived at the company.

In the office, Zhang Ying sat on the sofa with a middle-aged man in his forties.

This middle-aged man's name is Li Bin, a senior variety show director, and he has his own team.

When he returned to Hujia Town on New Year's Day, Hu Shuo moved his mind to do variety shows, and after returning to Jiangcheng, he asked Zhang Ying to find a suitable candidate, and this Li Bin was selected by her from many candidates.

"My idea is to make a slow-paced variety show, nowadays people's life is very fast, it is difficult to calm down and feel life, and the show I want to do is to let the guests return to the original pastoral life, and the filming location and fixed guests of the show, I have already set the ......"

Hu Shuo briefly elaborated on his thoughts.

However, after listening to Hu Shuo's introduction, Li Bin frowned slightly: "Mr. Hu, with all due respect, the model you mentioned seems to be completely unable to grasp the core of variety shows. ”

Li Bin spoke more directly and bluntly stated his views.

"So what does Director Li think is the core of variety shows?" Regarding Li Bin's straightforward attitude, Hu Shuo appreciated it more, and asked without hurry.

"The core of variety shows is entertainment and pleasing the audience, and I can't find anything to please the audience from the content described by Mr. Hu. Li Bin said.

Hearing this, Hu Shuo waved his hand slightly: "I have a different opinion from Director Li, I think variety shows are not to please the audience, but to give the audience, give the audience happiness, give the audience sadness, give the audience expectations, give the audience what they have in reality or are missing, a show should be successful if it can do one of them." ”

"And the idea of "Longing for Life" I am talking about is to give the audience a leisurely attitude to life, of course, this show may not be successful, but at least there is no similar variety show in China at present, so I want to make a try!"

Hu Shuo seriously expounded his views.

"Giving??"

These two words made Li Bin fall into contemplation, he has been doing variety shows for more than ten years, and he has always thought about how to please the audience, after all, this is the initial definition of variety shows.

However, when he suddenly heard Hu Shuo's point of view, Li Bin had a feeling that the hutch was suddenly opened, pleasing and giving were completely two angles, and after comparison, you would find that giving is actually simpler than pleasing and more acceptable.

It's like if you offer to give someone a hundred dollars and you ask for a hundred dollars to please someone, obviously the former is easier and more pleasant.

"Mr. Hu's point of view has enlightened my solidified thinking. Li Bin said solemnly: "Then, I'm willing to try it, but, to be honest, I don't have any experience in filming this type of variety show." ”

Hearing this, Hu Shuo waved his hand lightly, and then said with a smile: "At present, there is no such type of program in China, in fact, there is no need for so-called experience, we can be a pioneer." ”

"Good!"

"I'll do my best to make this show a good one!"

Li Bin immediately expressed his position.

"Well, then welcome Director Li to Genesis Entertainment!"

Hu Shuo got up and shook hands with Li Bin.

"With a boss like Mr. Hu, the future of Genesis Entertainment can be expected!"

Li Bin said with a sincere face, and it could be seen that he was saying it from the heart.

Next, Hu Shuo chatted with Li Bin about the details of the show, and the name of the show still uses its original name "Longing for Life", however, because the regular guests of the first season are the four leading actors of "Love Apartment", this season's show is also called "Longing for Life: Love Apartment".

After the "yearning" project was officially established, Li Bin began to promote the follow-up work.

In the office, only Hu Shuo and Zhang Ying remained.

"Sister Ying, Zhang Yufeng, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, sent me an invitation, hoping that I can be the director of the Spring Festival Gala song program, what do you think about this?"

Hu Shuo has not yet decided how to join the Spring Festival Gala, but today I just asked Zhang Ying's opinion, after all, the other party is experienced.

"Oh?"

"I just said I wanted you to perform, why did you become the director of the song program again?" Zhang Ying was a little surprised, the Spring Festival Gala program team contacted her a few days ago, saying that she was inviting Hu Shuo to the Spring Festival Gala, but Hu Shuo didn't plan to take over the performance work in order to spend more time with his wife, so he directly refused at that time.

"Zhang Yufeng found me through personal connections. Hu Shuo explained.

"Then it seems that he values Mr. Hu very much. ”

Zhang Ying said with a happy face: "From the perspective of commercial interests, it is of course very beneficial for our company for Mr. Hu to serve as the director of the Spring Festival Gala song program, once Mr. Hu becomes the director of the song program, you can place the company's artists in the performance lineup of the Spring Festival Gala, which is a good opportunity to enhance popularity and popularity." ”

"Does the song director have that power?"

Hu Shuo is blind to the situation of the Spring Festival Gala, the director he understands should only be the co-ordination and arrangement of the songs, and listening to Zhang Ying's meaning, he still has the power to transfer personnel? If this is the case, it is a lot of benefits to be the director, at present, the popularity and influence of the artists under Genesis Entertainment are still lacking, and the Spring Festival Gala is a stage for star-making, and many stars became popular because of their appearance on the Spring Festival Gala, after all, this is the program with the highest ratings throughout the year.

"At least there is the right to speak in personnel transfers, and it shouldn't be difficult to install a few people, but Mr. Hu can also talk to Zhang Yufeng about the conditions, after all, he invited you. Zhang Ying said with a smile: "If Mr. Hu can bring a few artists under the company to the Spring Festival Gala together, it will naturally be a good thing!"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Hu Shuo nodded thoughtfully, the two movies "Predecessor Raiders" and "Heart Flower Road" produced by the company before and after the Spring Festival are still to be released, and it is also a good choice to use the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to let the leading actors of the two movies brush up on a wave of popularity.

Having made up his mind, Hu Shuo dialed Zhang Yufeng's phone.

"Director Zhang, I've seriously thought about it, I can take over the task of being the director of the Spring Festival Gala song program, but I have a small request. ”

After the phone was connected, Hu Shuo said.

"If there is a request, just mention it, as long as it is within my ability, it will be met. Zhang Yufeng immediately expressed his attitude.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just hope that if I am the director of the song program, I can have the right to appoint and dismiss personnel. Hu Shuo said.

"That's it?"

"No problem!!"

Zhang Yufeng almost didn't hesitate, and directly agreed.

"However, Xiao Shuo's nephew, now that the singers of the song show have come out with a pending list, you can't replace all the singers on this list......"

Zhang Yufeng added.

"Don't worry, it won't be. ”

Hu Shuo just wants to bring a few of the company's artists to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and he will not install all of his own people.

"That's it!"

Although he only heard it, Hu Shuo felt that Zhang Yufeng should be very excited, and it seemed that he really expected to be the director of the song program.

In fact, Hu Shuo is not clear about the current situation of the Spring Festival Gala, as people's entertainment methods become more and more diversified, the status of the Spring Festival Gala is now much worse than before, and the ratings have continued to decline for several consecutive years, in this environment, the program team of the Spring Festival Gala is naturally racking their brains to increase the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.

And the "ratings miracle" of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's New Year's Eve Gala made the program team of the Spring Festival Gala see a glimmer of hope for the revival of the Spring Festival Gala, then, this key figure is Hu Shuo.

Why can the ratings of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party be so high? ?

The lineup is only one aspect, but the most important thing is the high-quality content, many of the songs at the party are from Hu Shuo's hands, and Hu Shuo's songs are all masterpieces.

The song is good, of course the audience loves it, and of course they are reluctant to change the stage.

Therefore, after the New Year's Eve party, the Spring Festival Gala program team tried to invite Hu Shuo, in their opinion, Hu Shuo is simply the "good medicine" for the revival of the Spring Festival Gala, but the previous invitation Hu Shuo refused, and later Zhang Yufeng found Hu Shuo through Huang Yurong.

Now Hu Shuo has agreed to be the director of the Spring Festival Gala song program, that is to say, the quality of the Spring Festival Gala song program is guaranteed, and Zhang Yufeng, as the chief director, is of course very happy.

"Director Zhang, then you can send me a copy of the preliminary list of singers for song programs in a while, and I'll study it. Before hanging up the phone, Hu Shuo said.

"Okay, no problem. Zhang Yufeng answered and hung up the phone.

Soon Hu Shuo received a list of singers from Zhang Yufeng.

However, to Hu Shuo's surprise, he found several familiar names on this list, Jiang Kai, Liang Ruixue, and Ness Boy.

In addition to the three names that impressed him during the New Year's Eve party of Jiangcheng Satellite TV, there is also the king-level singer of Wenyu Entertainment, Guo Shaoyu.

In this list, there are four groups of singers under Wenyu Entertainment alone, and the whole discovery is a "windfall" for Hu Shuo!
